A NATIONAL TRAGEDY FOR EGYPT: Meltdown: Women harassed, attacked in Tahrir Square during International Women’s Day protests. “And in case you’re wondering, no, there’s no coverage of this yet at Al Jazeera’s website that I’ve been able to find. There is, to their credit, this overview of sexual harassment and women’s rights in Egypt but nothing about the ugliness in Tahrir Square. That’s not the first time they’ve quietly overlooked a story about an attack on women that would reflect badly on the revolution. Probably won’t be the last.”

Too bad there’s not an international charity that gives women guns. That’s an NGO I’d support. . . .

UPDATE: The Women In The Middle East Fight For Freedom Too.
